    Donaire could probably give Rios a run for his money even with the big size differential based on skill alone.

    Rios would have lost had Acosta not deviated from his gameplan. Donaire dominated from the opening bell

      Some people dont know **** about boxing, IMO Acosta is a very skilled underrated fighter. Rios did not look as impressive as Donaire simply because Acosta is not the type of fighter Montiel is. Acosta is a strong punching boxer, who likes to hit and move and does not let his opponents look all that great. IMO Acosta would give any of the other 135 champions a tough fight!! Give credit to rios for beating a hell of a good fighter. Rios put him to sleep people!! Rios might be a little limited still in his boxing but he is young and will get a lot better!!!!!!

        What are you talking about?? Acosta didn't deviated from s hit, he was systematically broken down by Rios from the fifth and final tenth round. Acosta could have KO'd Rios in the third after hurting him badly but couldn't. No other gameplan could have made a difference for Acosta, he was as game as he has been in the past.

          Brandon Rios doesn't work with Victor Conte, so there's something more REAL about his performance.

              So because the ref stopped the fight it wasn't as good? If thats the case the corner is the one who stopped the fight in the rios fight and prevented him from even trying to get up....

                Everyone is gonna say Donaire,but it's even to me.Acosta had a 19 fight win streak,has defeated too undefeated contenders & was controlling that fight early.Donaire was bigger & the favorite coming in vs Montiel.Donaires 1 punch ko was spectacular no doubt.But Rios walking through fire to defeat a more skilled champion was just as impressive.

                      What makes Donaire more impressive was the wow factor of the knockout, but in reality, it was Rios that showed much more in his fight. Rios was being out classed and even hurt during the first part of the fight. It was amazing to watch him hold it together and not give up to win by KO late in the fight.
